Chapter 99: Intentional Exchange

  Walk and walk, finally arrived at the entrance of Zui Ling Long.

  Sister Xi looked up at the sparkling sign in the sunlight and took a deep breath, silently cheering herself on.

  After she had mentally prepared herself, Xi Mei finally lifted her leg and went in. As soon as she entered the door, the tinkling sound attracted the attention of the shopkeeper.

  It's probably because he saw that Xi Mei was dressed nicely and thought she was a young lady from a wealthy family, so the shopkeeper's smile became even more obvious and his service even more attentive.

  "Take me to a slightly quieter room, it's too noisy here!" Xi Mei said with a pretended look of disgust.

  The young waiter's face stiffened slightly, probably because he hadn't seen many arrogant misses like this before. He immediately bowed and smiled repeatedly, saying: "Miss, please follow me upstairs, I'll find a private room for you."

  Little did he know, Xi Mei wanted exactly that sentence. She pinched her fingers together, put the handkerchief to her nose and said coquettishly: "Hurry up, what's taking so long!"

  When Xia Er brought her to the staircase on the second floor alone, Xi Mei casually said: "My brother doesn't know how to manage his subordinates either. These subordinates are getting more and more slack."

  As expected, after hearing this, Xiao Er's expression changed, and he stuttered: "May I ask, who are you?"

  Sister Xi angrily placed her hands on her hips and loudly scolded, "Blind your dog eyes! You actually don't know who the young lady of the house is? I think someone as incompetent as you can't stay here."

  Completely learned the arrogant and willful appearance, a perfect 10 out of 10!

  The little second was completely stunned, and only then did Xi Mei say with a pretended tone, "Forget it, since you still know what's good for you, I won't pursue the matter. Now take me to find my brother."

  Xiao Er's face showed obvious hesitation when he heard what Xi Mei said. Seeing this, Xi Mei continued to intimidate him, "Forget it, I don't want to go with you anyway. Just wait, when we get home, I'll tell my brother and you can just pack your bags and roll back home."

  No doubt about it, Xiao Er nodded and agreed, taking his sister with him.

  Xi Mei secretly rejoiced, it seems the timing isn't too late after all, fortunately she made it in time. However..., looking at the little servant leading the way in front of her, a hint of guilt flashed across Xi Mei's eyes.

  "Hey, you said you're going to have a fight with that little kid here. Is it interesting?"

  When the two arrived at Wang Ziheng's arbor, Xi Mei signaled Xiao Er to retreat, then stood in front of the door. Taking a deep breath, she stretched out her foot from under her skirt and kicked the door open with force!

  Luckily there was nothing inside, otherwise... Tsk tsk, this little leg is probably not crippled but must be seriously injured.

  After kicking open the door, as expected, I saw Wang Zihan and a girl whose face was unclear drinking tea, with a strange woman sitting beside them.

  Awakened by the loud creaking of the door, several people cautiously looked outside, only to find that it was just a little girl who had entered. A look of displeasure appeared on the woman's face.

  Before she could speak, Chen Tianfa exclaimed: "Xi..."

  "Brother! I've been looking for you for a long time, what are you doing here?" Xi Mei said with feigned innocence as she swaggered up to him.

  Wang Zihan was puzzled and couldn't understand what Xi Mei was doing. This girl had never called him "brother" before, no matter how long they'd known each other.

  Little did he know, his sister was even more shocked than him. Yesterday when she saw him, he was fine, so why is he acting so strangely today?

  He was dressed in a blue satin jacket and trousers. His hair was wrapped in a square scarf of the same color, completely different from his previous attire.

  On closer inspection, a large chunk of hair that wasn't covered up was also missing, as if it had been gnawed off by a dog.

  Hey, this girl has already forgotten all the mistakes she made when she got drunk yesterday.

  Her eyes scanned the girl who had been quietly silent, carefully sizing her up. Hmm, she looked okay, with a pair of big watery eyes and a cherry-like mouth.

  Beauty is beauty, but after all, it lacks a bit of spirit.

  And just as Xi Mei kicked in the door and swaggered in, she unexpectedly caught sight of the girl's disdainful gaze.

  Xi Mei secretly smiled, that's exactly what she wanted. Today, she played the role of Wang Zihan's arrogant and spoiled sister.

  Well, it's a pity for Wang Yanying's reputation. However, she didn't reveal her identity, so the misunderstanding will just have to be. As for their relationship, she can call Wang Zihan "brother" without being presumptuous.

  Walking up to him, sitting beside Wang Zihan, Xi Mei asked, "Brother, didn't you say that if there's nothing going on today, you'd accompany me to stroll around the streets? Why don't you keep your word?"

  As I spoke, I used my eyes to signal to him that I had come to bail him out.

  Only then did Wang Zihuan suddenly realize, patting Xi Mei's head and saying: "You see, brother is busy to the point of almost forgetting, after a while when brother finishes he will take you there."

  Treat blind dates as a task, I guess whoever encounters this kind of response will be unhappy.

  As expected, when the two people's eyes secretly glanced at each other, they found that the smile on the corner of Jiang's daughter's mouth had become somewhat stiff.

  So, Xi Mei said again: "Brother, I'm so thirsty from playing all day, brother give me water to drink." She pulled on Wang Zihan's sleeve and coquettishly said.

  Wang Zihan looked at Xi Mei who had completely changed and cooperatively brought over the teacup, elegantly poured a cup of tea, then personally fed it to her.

  Throughout, completely ignoring the stiff postures of the two people opposite.

  Finally, the tea was poured in, and Xi Mei scrunched up her face in distaste, then spat it all out onto the ground, angrily saying: "What kind of tea is this? It's not even fit for a dog to drink. How dare you try to trick me?"

  The silver bell on her wrist rang out with a "ding-dong" sound as she moved. At this time, the two people opposite her already had expressions that could be said to have a slightly contemptuous meaning.

  It's also the case in this era that large families would teach their daughters etiquette, and when going out, they would bring along a maid, not revealing their teeth when smiling, and every move they made had to follow a certain standard. Which is why someone like Xi Mei would intentionally behave in such an ill-mannered way?

  "Master Wang, who is this..." The woman finally couldn't help but ask after half a day.

  This woman played a crucial role in this matchmaking event, and if it succeeds, both the Jiang and Wang families will have to give her some face.

  But who can tell her that when things are going smoothly, how did a little girl suddenly appear to stir up trouble?

  Heaven knows, these young ladies from wealthy families can't stand people who are so uncouth and unrefined, so why does this Miss Wang have such an appearance?

  "After thinking for a long time, the woman turned to Xi Mei and said: 'You see, Wang Xiang, we've been sitting here for so long, isn't it a bit stuffy? Why don't we go out for a stroll, and when your brother finishes his business, we can come back?"

  Cough, after finishing things, why did this woman speak so ambiguously?

  Looking at Xi Mei, Wang Ziheng's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself, this girl had better not be playing around, and followed them out. The two of them would have their previous efforts go down the drain.

  Before she could remind her, Xi Mei's little face lit up with joy and she clapped her hands, saying: "Great, great, it's too stuffy here, I don't like it."

  The woman's heart was delighted, as long as this troublesome little girl was taken out, the matter would probably be settled soon. With a smile, she said to Xi Mei: "How about Auntie taking you out and letting Brother discuss business here?"

  Xi Mei heard this and couldn't help but secretly laugh. This person really thought she was a naive little girl who didn't understand anything, and once she left, she wouldn't be able to see any excitement.

  At this time, when several people had not reacted yet, Xi Mei quickly stretched out her arm and opened the window beside Jiang Niang.

  "Why go out? Isn't it good like this?"

  Turning her head in Wang Zihan's direction, she blushed and asked for credit, as if to say, "Look at how clever I am?"

  The prince had his fist pressed against his mouth to prevent himself from laughing out loud, after all, it would be too impolite if he did.

  Since the floor was paved with heating pipes two years ago, the whole wine house has been like spring even in winter, which is also why it can always occupy a place in the large Anping Town.

  However, as soon as Xi Mei opened the window, the dry and cold air outside rushed in. Jiang Jia's daughter, who was closest to the window, happened to be beside it and let out an "Ah-choo!" as the cold wind blew her way.

  That little sister of yours, not showing the slightest bit of guilt, instead clapped her hands and said loudly: "Oh oh, dog sneezes and it rains. Brother, will it rain tomorrow?"

  The prince touched her braid and patiently replied: "It won't rain on a day like today, maybe it will snow."

  The serious look made Xi Mei laugh, and the "brother and sister" burst out laughing as if no one was around.

  This remark would be unpleasant for anyone to hear, let alone a young lady from the esteemed Jiang family who has been raised with luxury and educated in literature.

  She suddenly stood up and said to the woman beside her, "Hongmei Auntie, please tell Old Lady Wang that our family's door is too high for us to climb!"

  After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at the "two siblings" opposite him and stormed out of the door.

  The woman saw her leave and quickly got up to chase after her, saying "Miss, wait for me."

  Listening to the footsteps outside disappearing, Xi Mei Wang Zihan only looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

  This is undoubtedly the best ending for both of them. Wang Zihan followed his family's advice and came out to meet, as for whether others look up to him or not, that's not within his consideration.

  But fortunately, the young lady's recent behavior has shown everyone that 'Miss Wang' is so rude and spoiled, who would want to marry into a family with such a younger sister?

  As for the girl, rumors are also unreliable, this young master of the Wang family is just a fake.

  Anyway, this crisis has been temporarily resolved.

  "Thanks a lot this time, Xi Mei." Wang Zihan sincerely thanked Xi Mei.

  Xī jiě bù zài hu de bǎi bǎi shǒu, "suàn le, kàn zài nǐ zhè me zhào gù wǒ jiā de fèn shàng, bāng nǐ yī cì yě shì yīng dāng de, bú guò, yíng jiě jie de míng shēng……"

  Xi Mei rarely showed a shy expression, Wang Zihan smiled: "Don't worry about this, I'll handle it well."

  Looking at Xi Mei's footsteps about to step out, Wang Zihan curiously asked: "Xi Mei, last night, you got drunk and went back, didn't your mother scold you?"

  A sentence reminded Xi Mei, she came out too hastily, had she completely forgotten about this matter?

  Last night she came back drunk and sneaked out without permission, she could imagine what kind of punishment would be waiting for her.

  With that, Xi Mei turned around and hurried home with quick steps...

  What a pathetic fate.
